Welcome to Basschat

Welcome to BC Rob, good luck in the search for a bass

Marvellous, great bass

Joe Ely is someone I've always liked [url="http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/52889348/Definitive-Collection/Product.html?searchstring=joe+ely&searchsource=0&searchtype=musicall&urlrefer=search&strefer=musicall&searchfilters=s%7bjoe+ely%7d%2bc%7b34%7d%2b"]http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/52889348/Definitive-Collection/Product.html?searchstring=joe+ely&searchsource=0&searchtype=musicall&urlrefer=search&strefer=musicall&searchfilters=s%7bjoe+ely%7d%2bc%7b34%7d%2b[/url] Cant go wrong with Gram Parsons or The Eagles, Tim McGraw is also pretty good John

Lovely basses, 2 for the price of 1, good job John

Hello and welcome

Thanks for posting, he's a great bassist John

Overend Watts on the song 'Born Late 58' on Mott The Hoople's album 'The Hoople' (he also wrote the tune). John

[/quote] Played it for about 3 and a half hours today, the HB JB75 just lovely to play, the neck is so smooth and with the low action it's a lot easier to play, when I get totally used to it I'll try and post a video of me playing which should be worth a laugh!!

Welcome aboard

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1390425381' post='2345423'] Does my Demon bass qualify for this bizarre bunch? [/quote] That certainly does, devilishly great bass

Nice

Welcome to BC

Just bought a bass from Thomann in Germany, no extra charges apart from VAT John

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1390412595' post='2345205'] Congratulations. What an utter bargain! [/quote] For about £107 including delivery it's an amazing bargain John

[quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1390411510' post='2345182'] Looks lovely! [/quote] Thanks, It is, I might sleep with it tonight and kick the wife into the spare room John

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1390409132' post='2345126'] With so many sources for hearing and learning techniques it makes learning bass a lot easier but in terms of creating a new sound or style, pretty impossible as all the trail-blazing on the instrument has probably been done. [/quote] +1 on this

Hi Tom and welcome to BC

My Harley Benton JB-75 Natural Vintage Series Jazz Bass was delivered at about 2pm today and it's fantastic It was well packaged with an outer box with loads of packing material inside protecting the box with the bass in. The bass looks great and is an absolute beauty to my eyes It plays very nicely and easily in my novice hands!, intonation was spot on, action is low (what a difference from the borrowed Encore P-Bass I've been using!! ), no fret buzz at all. it came with a lead, two allen keys and was fitted with D'Addario nickel wound XL strings, lots of different tone compared to the P-Bass and a whole lot louder with the Wilkinson pups. All in all I love it, sitting here and beaming [url="http://s129.photobucket.com/user/madshadows1/media/IMGP1182_zps8d24361b.jpg.html?sort=9&o=0"]http://s129.photobucket.com/user/madshadows1/media/IMGP1182_zps8d24361b.jpg.html?sort=9&o=0[/url] Highly recommended, great service from Thomann who apparently check and service all guitars before they are sent out, I would uses them again Off to have more playtime John

Lovely looking basses, sound great as well, congrats on getting them, happy non-identical twins John
